Im looking at getting a cold air intake for my boss. Which one do you guys prefer and why? I will either get the Steeda or JLT carbon fiber cold air intake. Thanks in advance.

I have the JLT but I really don't think you can go wrong with either. Both are high quality and well engineered. I've had JLT intakes in my past vehicles and I'm brand loyal. Nothing against Steeda though. I also recommend the JLT oil separator.

Jay,
After installing a CAI on a boss, do you recommend a tune as well? Will the car run too lean without it? I've never run a CAI without a tune in a GT500, but seeing as the Boss is naturally aspirated, I wasn't sure of the difference. Please advise....
Thanks
Bill

I had the JLT on my GT 5.0 and it was most excellent with a lund tune. Huge performance increase...

I now have the Steeda CAI on my boss with the aed tune and it is insane as well.

The only reason i went with Steeda is because they have the 101mm adapter...not sure if JLT does...both great products and great service.

Steeda is an excellent well built CAI that maintains the ram air input from the bottom of the airbox.

Thanks everyone for the quick feedback! Im still undecided but will purchase one soon. Both look great so it might be a coin toss. I may look for a intake/scal3 package. Thanks agan.

^^^^^THIS is how you make an airbox with ram air(Steeda):rockon:.................wow, you guys will buy anything. LOL.

Oh wow steeda uses their own ram air scoop? Tell me more on how it's better then just using the factory scoop. Jlt uses the factory scoop. Get over yourself you steeda nut swinger it's just an intake lol

And those who spend so much time trashing a brand, posting pictures in every thread on every forum are something too, huh?

Don't forget, the Steeda is $90 more than the JLT and make 0 more power. So some want to save money and some don't. In the end they will both be just as fast.

How am I mad you're the one that jumped all over my simple post with your pictures. So it seems like you're the mad bro.
Well you can talk to Shaun at AED about how hard it was to tune my car with the jlt. He didn't have any issues and my car runs like a raped ape. So you go ahead and have fun with your gift to god of an intake that has its own superior ram air scoop that's no better then the jlt. Just like tucker said your intake doesn't make any more power then mine. You paid $90 more for what? The more crap that you had to install. That intake looks like it has 20 pieces to it.

Not mad at all, I just think it's pathetic that some go through such measures to be negative toward a product they don't even use, fighting for a product that doesn't make any more power and costs 30% more.
